Herkimer Diamonds are not actually diamonds but are double-terminated quartz crystals known for their exceptional clarity and naturally faceted ends. They are found primarily in Herkimer County, NY. The crystals can be found in a variety of sizes and often contain inclusions such as water bubbles, black carbon deposits, or rainbow-like iridescent effects.
One of the most striking features of Herkimer Diamonds is their clarity and brilliance. They are often considered to be the clearest quartz crystals found in nature, which is why they have been given the "diamond" moniker. This exceptional clarity makes them highly sought after for use in jewelry and decorative pieces. The naturally faceted, double-terminated structure means that they have points at both ends, which is relatively rare among quartz crystals.
